From the Tea dept.
First, my apologies to the good folks at Infuze for inadvertently calling them Matcha in yesterday's post (I need more sleep!).The Infuze Tea House (604 688-3170, 870 West Cordova Street) is a stylish, hip place to sip tea, eat some sweet and savoury snacks as accompaniments and buy tea for brewing at home. The takeout tea is not cheap (e.g. matcha tea is a whooping $28 for 30 grams) but it is 100% organic and meets the most stringent Japanese and German standards. Luckily, if you buy a cuppa and sip it there and take it out, it is very affordable; basically the same as Starbucks (about $2 and up) for a far superior and healthier product. The matcha green tea that I tried yesterday had a great clear green tea flavour and was delightful to sip from a traditional Japanese bowl. I'll definitely be back for a full mini-review.
